Multilayer article that provides cushioning

Abstract

A multilayer article is configured to provide cushioning for a musical instrument. The multilayer article has an attachment layer configured to be detachably coupled to the musical instrument. An upper raised section layer is attached to the attachment layer and configured to be concave downward. A lower raised section layer attached to the attachment layer and configured to be concave upward. A center raised section layer attached to the attachment layer between the upper raised section layer and the lower raised section layer. The upper raised section layer, the lower raised section layer and the center raised section layer are arranged to ergonomically accommodate a clavicle of a human user.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A multilayer article configured to provide cushioning for a musical instrument; the multilayer article comprising:
 an attachment layer configured to be detachably coupled to the musical instrument; 
 an upper raised section layer attached to the attachment layer and configured to be concave downward; 
 a lower raised section layer attached to the attachment layer and configured to be concave upward; 
 a center raised section layer attached to the attachment layer between the upper raised section layer and the lower raised section layer; 
 wherein the upper raised section layer, the lower raised section layer and the center raised section layer are arranged to ergonomically accommodate a clavicle of a human user. 
 
     
     
       2. The multilayer article of  claim 1 , wherein the upper raised section layer has an upper raised section layer height; the lower raised section layer has a lower raised section layer height; the center raised section layer has a center raised section layer height; wherein the center raised section layer height is approximately half the upper raised section layer height and the lower raised section layer height to ergonomically accommodate the clavicle of the human user. 
     
     
       3. The multilayer article of  claim 1 , wherein the attachment layer is made from an adhesive foam, configured to be detachably coupled to the musical instrument without affecting a sound from the musical instrument. 
     
     
       4. The multilayer article of  claim 3 , wherein the upper raised section layer, the lower raised section layer and the center raised section layer are made from an acoustic foam, configured to ergonomically accommodate the clavicle of the human user to the musical instrument without affecting the sound of the musical instrument. 
     
     
       5. A process for making a multilayer article that provides cushioning for a musical instrument while not affecting a sound from the musical instrument; the process comprising:
 affixing an adhesive foam to an acoustic foam forming a bonded base; and 
 cutting the bonded base into an upper raised section layer, a lower raised section layer and a center raised section layer to ergonomically accommodate a clavicle of a human user. 
 
     
     
       6. The process of  claim 5 , wherein the adhesive foam is affixed to the acoustic foam by heating the acoustic foam proximate the adhesive foam.
